"Will the supporters of former Governor
Cole L. Blease bolt the Democratic
primary?
emphatic negative reply to that
query is made this week by the Newterry
Herald and News, and by The
Yorkville Eenquirer, two pro-?Blease
newspapers, which usually represent
the deliberate judgment and the sound
-opinion of the Blease party. Th? editor
of The Herald and N?we, 'C?l. Blbert
H. Aull, is said to be cJOaa to
former governor, and, ia view ot lhJ?

taehed to what he says.
The Herald and News* declares tot
"we are in no notion of bolting and
will support the nominees. We always

independent ticket If there should
be, it will not have our support."
The Yorkville Enquirer, which in
the recent campaign was always fair
A i?
and conservative in its suppon ior :m.
Blease, says: "Of course, there is going
to be no bolt this year. There
were irregularities. There "was indirect
vote buying and there was intim'
bidation
and fraud. It is quite possible
i 1
that there was more or less of it on
both side?; but there is not going to be
any bolt." The News calls attention to
the fairness and frankness of that
statement. "Just as Mr. Blease had
the appointment of commissioners of
flection four years ago, Mr. Manning
lias had that appointment this year,
( ^ and just as Mr. Blease endeavored to
put none but Bleaseits on guard lour
years ago, Mr. Manning has iput none
but Manningites on guard this year."
The Enquirer continues, not believing
that there will be a split among the
white Democrats of South Carolina

A. B. Williams of the Greenville
News, coined the word "Refawm," but
Gonzales appropriated it. Often country
newspapers were quoted in the
Columbia State for apparently no other
reason than to designate them in
accordance with the editor's whims,
and The Enquirer was sometimes represented
as "Reform," sometimes as
"Tillmanite," sometimes as "Conservative,"
sometimes as "anti-Tilmanite,"
and sometimes as "Refawm,''
and again as "neutral." As shallow
as this method of tantalization ap
pears to have been, this editor, then j
quite a young m^tn, was goaded almost!
beyond endurance and often consider- j

by the fur wiser and better balanced
judgment of the late L. M. Grist, >who
advised: "Let him alone. You are
printing a non-partisan paper for both
sides. He wants to smoke you out into
partisanship. If you deny that you
are 'Conservative,' then he will call
you 'Tillmanite,' -and if yon deny that
you are 'Tillmanite,' he will call you
'Conservative,' and if you say you are
neither he will taunt you with being
on the fence. As soon as you commit
yourself to partisanship, your reputa
tion for impartial fairness will suffer
with both sides. Don't let him place
you anywhere. Leave it to your readers
to place you by your conduct, by

i "THE SPELL OF THE YUKON."
Edmund Breese, recognized as one
of America's foremost dramatic actors,
? arranges to fin?I time away from the
' speaking stage long enough to make a
1 Metro wonderplay occasionaly, and his
> next offering will be "The Spell of the
i Yukon.'" Mr: Breese is probably
1 best known to theatre goer9 lor his
- remarkable performance in "The Lion
" and the Mouse," the sensational play
f In wkich he played the leading part for
three years in this country and in
, England. It was in that play that KoL
bert W. Service, the anthoF of "The
Spell of the Yukon/' and other Terse*
r dealing with the Alaskan life, and
^ often called "The Kipling of the.
North/' saw Mr. Dreese for the first,
l time. They met and a strong friend.
ship resulted. When he came to mo.
tion pictures, Mr. Breese suggested
5 that the Service poems offered un-,
. bounded opportunities for stories of
action and color in the Alaskan counl
try, which..had never before been used

j made "The Shooting of Dan McGrew,"
"The Song of the iWage Slave," and
"The Lure of Hearts Desire/' which
were wonderful picturizations of the
poems of the same name by Mr. Service.
"The Spell of the Yukon" is perhaps
Mr. Service's best known work. It
is the poem that he selected above all
others to put in first place in his col|
lection, and which also carried the
1 j title of his famous book poem:;. The j
r pictured story deals with Jim Carson,
the foreman of->a sweat shop in Ne"w
i York, in love with Helen the steno.
grapher, who returns his love. Jim
. has had several quarrels with the sur
perintendent and when they carry
I their alteration to the owner's office
Jim finds Helen apparently in the em.
braces of his employer. Jim mis
. judges her and later when his employ'
er arranges to have it seem that he
t has falsified his accounts, in order to
. get him out of the way, Jim answers
; the call of the north. Arrived in the
r Yukon he seeks a friend, who has pre;
ceeded him there and finds that he has
; just heen killed by a half breed, leav5
ing a baby boy behind him. Jim adopts
. the boy and they become deeply at
r taohed to each other, while Jim is
5 amassing a fortune in the gold fields.
Jim's one idea is to square accounts
i with his former employer, who has
: since married Helen, and he comes to
New York for that purpose. Jim finds

him heavily involved in Wall street
and -with his fortune crushes him. Temple,
his former employer, sends Helen
to Jim begging for money. Jim insists
on full revenge, until he learns that
the daughter born to Helen is his
own child. How the daughter and
Jim's foster eon accidently meet and
fall In love, and how after their union
Jim leaves for the North, alone,
gives & romantic touch to tfce elimax
of supreme appeal.

1,000,000 men, hare been virtually
annihilated in the Samine battle, says
the military crit.t of the Overseas
News agency.
According to figures from Swis?
sources, aa given bv the news asrency.
the Russian losses from June 1 to October
2 were about 1,000,000 men. The
news agency's military critic writes:
"The heavy sacrifices made by the
British and French for the recapture
of each square yard on the Somme
is proved by the fact that in three and
one-half months about 90 fresh divisions
were virtually annihilated, so
that it was necessary to withdraw

than 1,000,000 men. Thera are -uoout
12,000 men m a French division an<l
19,000 in a British division.
"These divisions disappeared completely
from battle. Fifty-five divisions
in consequence of their great losses
were able to engage in combat only
twice, 15 divisions three times and
only one was able to engage In combat
four times. Four divisions had suffered
so severely after the second engagement
that it was necei^sary to send
them to quiet sectors, but on critical
days they were again thrown in.'^
